Monitor Buying Help!

Hello everyone!
I have (had) a MBP 17 inch that just crapped out on me. It was hooked up to the beautiful Thunderbolt display. I just bought (and am anxiously awaiting) my new MBC 13 inch. My question is this.
Do I keep using the Thunderbolt display (with the $50 USB-C to Thunderbolt adapter) or upgrade to a new monitor? I have no interest in 4k.
Any and all input is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!

 

I like the idea of only using one cable for power/display (USB-C).
Also, isn't a HD display a step up from the Thunderbolt display?
